I cackled. I mean, why not? We live in the craziest stupidest timeline

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤯

I’ve never heard of this before but I want to send it to every teacher I know

🌱 last spring I bought this rhododendron entirely based on the name. Finally my impulsive purchase has been completely vindicated as my “Dark Lord” rhododendron had bloomed and it is stunning 🤩

On May 2nd, in Western NY, federal immigration agents stopped a bus of farm workers from Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms. They had a list of names, including UFW worker leaders who have been organizing to unionize their workplace. Those workers were detained. 1/ #WeFeedYou

I wrote a book about this, How to Talk to Your Son about Fascism -- the right-wing offers young men easy and evil answers to complex questions, and gives community. To fight it we need our own answers, and our own appealing communities. www.routledge.com/How-to-Talk-...

i realize the title is a bit counterintuitive but the answer is that you cannot as an individual guarantee your food is safe. we can, as a collective, push back HARD on dismantling food safety regulations, and put pressure on an unpopular administration to keep our food from killing us.

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

This is who we are. A country where we need to build a missing persons website for all the friends & family disappeared under this administration. Please share so folks can connect. #MOMSky

I’ve been disappointed with Ferguson and he’s only been Gov for a few months

If there’s one thing I’ve taken away from reporting on the current DOGE collection of govt data, it is that the people who’ve previously spent their careers carefully handling this information believe there is almost no limit to how it could be abused (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

The fuck? They want to send these assholes into local regions too 😡

I looked up my area. Some were unsurprising, some very surprising.

If they can deport these 3 little children what are US Citizens, they can do it to you! This is the story you need to be talking about everywhere along with the arresting of judge Hannah Dugan. They're disappearing people & dismantling democracy & WE could be next. www.aclu.org/press-releas....

The power of the people is greater than the people in power. Do not forget that together, we control the economy. Withhold your $$ and make sure corporations know their profit margin is fucked as long as Tr*mp is in charge. Make sure they understand how to get us to buy their products again.

The Justice Dept. has authorized law enforcement officers to GO INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES WITHOUT SEARCH WARRANTS if they suspect that someone is an "alien enemy" I talked to @usatoday.com about Attorney General Bondi's "Guidance for Implementing the Alien Enemies Act," links below

I just wrote: "Switching from ICE to DoD Custody: An Alarming Violation of Court Order on Deportations to El Salvador" Astonishing. Read ICE official's affidavit. ICE had the detainees in their custody before turning them over to DOD for transfer to torture in El Salvador. AFTER court issued TRO.

Fuck yeah… Al Gore? We see you speaking out when others are silent

We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.

They want to give my child’s private health info to this guy and others like him 😡 autisticadvocacy.org/2025/03/asan...

Fuck. This. Shit.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

UPDATES: Barnard turned over personal info to feds. Almost every prof got this text. “The federal government reaching out to our personal cellphones to identify who is Jewish is incredibly sinister,” said Barnard prof. Debbie Becher, who is Jewish & got the text. theintercept.com/2025/04/23/t...

Here we go folks. Autism registries and dissidents arrested and sent to foreign gulags.

This is horrifying, and also, THEY ARE ALL FORCIBLY DISAPPEARED. The “list” referenced was leaked by CBS News, but we don’t know where they got it from. We know that Kilmar is not in CECOT like we assumed he was this whole time, but in another prison entirely. A thread.

Congresswoman DelBene’s town hall was worthless. She gave non answers, both sided Gaza, and kept talking about how she looked up to John Lewis and is fighting but never outlined how. I’d also like to point out the local 50501 protest was about 5 mins away from our location ☹️ we need real leadership

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

He was denied but at the same time at least two R’s have gone down there for fascist photo shoots

I just RSVP’d for a town hall with our rep Susan DelBene this weekend. I’ve never been to a town hall as they’re usually quite a distance for us or at inopportune times. My son is finally at an age that I can comfortable leave him at home now for an hour or two as well. Really looking forward to it

Correct , the fascists are incrementally moving towards the end goal, which is the disappearance of any person who goes against them,to do that they will have to test the waters a bit less each time. they will target Americans that have done heinous acts to normalize citizens to the new social norm.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Bring them all home.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Rep. Al Green’s response to a congressman saying God opposes trans rights: “You used God to enslave my foreparents!” #MomSky #Voices4Victory #TransRights

This is correct.

elon musk can eat shit 🫶🏻

2/2 detain a hundred million US citizens BUT they can use Elon’s access to our data and taxes and finances to hurt us.

1/2 So the state department is using AI to locate visa holders who protested or even just liked a pro Palestine social media post and pulling their visas and asking them to self deport. Once they’ve been removed what will they do next? They’ll use that AI to attack citizens. Of course they can’t…
